      Produce a normalized moving phase value.

        <h2>Initialization</h2>
        <p>
      <span class="emphasis"><em>iphs</em></span> (optional) -- initial phase, expressed as a fraction of a cycle (0 to 1). A negative value will cause phase initialization to be skipped. The default value is zero.
    </p>
      </div>
      <div class="refsect1">
        <a id="idp134070336"></a>
        <h2>Performance</h2>
        <p>
      An internal phase is successively accumulated in accordance with the <span class="emphasis"><em>kcps</em></span> or <span class="emphasis"><em>xcps</em></span> frequency to produce a moving phase value, normalized to lie in the range 0 &lt;= phs &lt; 1.
    </p>
        <p>
      When used as the index to a <a class="link" href="table.html" title="table"><em class="citetitle">table</em></a> unit, this phase (multiplied by the desired function table length) will cause it to behave like an oscillator.
    </p>
        <p>
      Note that <span class="emphasis"><em>phasor</em></span> is a special kind of integrator, accumulating phase increments that represent frequency settings.
